It's called “hyperdulia”. Look it up. Read a good Catholic book about Mary and our devotion to her, and you'll learn that we don't worship her. Far from it. She leads us to her Son, whom we do worship.
Ah yes, hyperdulia" is a term invented by Thomas Aquinas to distinguish the special form of "worship" due to Mary.
How closely related to the Apostles is Aquinas?

How closely related to the Apostles is Aquinas? A good millennium away.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
